I don’t comment on your videos that often, but I just wanted to say thank you for all your information. I have a Phalaenopsis orchid that we’ve had for two years, and she is finally bloomed. Beautiful flowers, white with a hint of purple. Thank you so very much!
I am so glad that I found you a couple of weeks ago when an orchid I had Inherited began to die. I hadn’t a clue about orchids or any epiphytes, but when I took it out of the pot and saw the rotted roots, I knew I needed help. I couldn’t even recognize the medium it had been potted in!!! You not only saved that orchid (it is stable and I THINK showing signs of new roots to come), you inspired me to try more. Your techniques work every time. Your explications are intelligent and clear. Your information is sound. Thank you for what you do, Dani. I wish you peace during this crisis so close to your own roots.
I'm very glad you showed nutrient deficiency... I hope this will help a lot of people to see issues with their orchids... I wish more views to your videos! I must confess when I go for a walk I see orchids here orchids there because they're quite easy to get in supermarkets nowadays. And they look OK (now) but then I go across ones that are older and look soooo neglected 🤦♂️ It's like they're screaming "I'm hungry, damn it!" And it's so easy to care... Breaks my heart every time! 💔 One time I even bought out one very neglected phaleonpsis from a lady because I couldn't look any more how she was slowly just dieing on the window! Belive me when I tell it was well worth for the lady 💶! She got her money and I duct-taped my heart a little 😄 That phaleonpsis (Phantom) is now thriving and flowering beautifully! And I even got a keiki from her ❤️ so now I have two Phantoms 👻 I'm hoping that you will show the progress of your Blueberry orchid how it will regain her strength 😁👍 PS: Ever noticed that the orchid you save from withering are sort of more vigorous after? Maybe it's just me but... 🤔
Hello there Danni, Thank you for your videos. The information is always appreciated. You have kept me company for the past 2 years and for that I am truly thankful. As always best wishes to you and your family - people, birds, orchids 😙🐞🇭🇲
Thank you for all the great orchid videos! This is another hobby I have picked up and you've helped me out so much! I especially loved this video because you are right. Right now we all do need to know everything will be alright.
Thanks again for another great and informative video. I always learn a new thing and my orchids are thriving thanka to you and your channel. And OMG that blueberry phal I absolutely need 😍😍😍
Great video, my orchids a thriving, now have my first ever mini orchid forming on the one I have had for 3 years :) Had to go out and by some pots ready to grow a brand new arrival :)
Im also for EU and I bought Mosquito Bits (for fungus gnats pest control) from US on Amazon as a gift and no problem there. I would recommend that at least You try to import 1-2 of those MSU's and mark it as a gift.
Well sadly my country became very vigilent with imports, we might also have stronger regulations. Last time I received msu the ministry of agriculture was involved and I almost needed to hire a company to properly destroy the goods, on my money, in front of them. Not going through that again.
Your video is perfect timing as i am dealing with this happening to a phal of mi e.. i thought it was because the flower spike has at least 10 flowers.. so thank you
Thankyou so much for all of the info you share with us. That Miss Yang Yang has such a beautiful & unusual flower and I can’t wait to see her bloom. I hope you’re OK, as well Danny. Thinking about you over there and any family you may have in Romania. God bless!
I have a phalaenopsis who looks just like the deformed leaf on yours however, I realised in January my slow release fertiliser is 6 monthly. Long story short, my orchids leaf is growing normal now. Just funny how you pop up with a video like this 🤣 now i know what the prob was. love your work Danni 😊
Thanks for your valuable info on phal... orchids, I’ve just started growing. I feed with mycelium culture and use foeteda earthworms to eat any decomposing roots and or potting medium. So far, so good. Please comment!i!
Perfect timing! The yellowing on one lower leaf of one of my phals began a few days ago and has progressed quite rapidly. It's had beautiful blooms for 2 or 3 months and receives regular fertilization. Could it be just natural death of the leaf?
Ah thanks for the nutrients video info with you example that answers some questions I was wondering about. The cymbidium is looking good in the background too 😍
I always relax watching your videos. I work from home and I usually watch them to take a break! Thank you for all the infos. I didn't know I had to wait until the yellow leaves fall on their own, I used to "rip them off", ouch! I know now... 😉 Stay well and safe too.
The sore thumb thing started in the 1930 ‐ 1940s by a famous writer....Erle Stanley Gardner. The Perry Mason novels which went onto TV with the same names. My grandma was explaining this a while ago and I looked up to check myself. It's amazing how things said or done still happen from way back when tonthis day and age. What do they say where you come from?
I have struggled to get msu in the UK as well... After using it very successfully for over a year I suddenly couldn't find anywhere that would deliver to me here. So! Try Akernes Rain Mix, apparently it's supposed to be Europe's answer to msu. The developers studied msu, did a bunch of trials and came up with the goods. I've been using it for about 6 months now and all seems to be going well. Lovely flower displays with all my orchids this year with multiple spikes on all but a few. So Rain mix seems to be a good substitute. There was a scare a little while back about root burn with rain mix but all my roots look absolutely fine to me. 👍
Thank you, your teaching is very helpful! Please give me the Name and Brandon slow release fertilizer you use and also the bark/ medium. My medium is much larger chunks and the orchards aren't thriving in it. Thanks
Straightforward information and I now have a gorgeous blue Phalaenopsis on my wish list, ‘Yang Yang Blueberry’’. This is just what I needed! Thank you. I hope you are well one year later than posting date. I am primarily an organic vegetable gardener. I have had phenomenal results using plane alfalfa meal pallets as a slow release fertilizer. It is a common animal feed, and inexpensive. In the USA you can get a 40 pound bag for $12. That’s enough to fertilize 800 to 1000 ft.² every other year and alfalfa generates a compound which boosts the performance of other plants. You may already know this, because I know there are fertilizers which feature alfalfa. I am going to try adding pellets tomorrow on the kids pot to help with the long time, and I will get back on a proper fertilizing schedule to help this plant get back up to speed. I’ll shut up now. Thanks again.
Hi Danni, my orchid roots are starting to grow through the bottom of the pot and the bottom leaves are turning yellow. Should I repot? Love your videos. Xx
I have seen on some videos to soak them several hours or even overnight! You say 15 minutes. What is the best? I live in Texas, which is a hot climate. I am not sure if that matters. I keep the house at about 72 degrees Fahrenheit. My orchids sit in a North-facing window.
MSU ( developed by Missouri State University) is known in Europe as Akerne Rain Mix, it can be found in a number of place ( it is also manufactured in Europe not just the USA)
Hi Danni, I haven’t watched all your 10,000 videos yet but probably did half of them😂 I have 20 orchids and they are doing ok but some of them started to act wrong. I have seen yellow leaves dropping in the past and I thought it is natural but recently some of my orchids leaves started to drop still being green. I’m in north east US and my room temp is 55F. Is it too cold for orchids? I don’t think I’m over watering and orchids are not getting direct sunlight. I’m puzzled
Good morning I have a problem with mealy bugs I have been using your recipe they still came back do you have any other ways to rid these pest Thank you
Well sadly my country became very vigilent with imports, we might also have stronger regulations. Last time I received msu and organic mixes from repotme, the ministry of agriculture was involved and I almost needed to hire a company to properly destroy the goods, on my money, in front of them. Not going through that again.
My Cattleya has started to do this but it’s almost March. When do I start fertilizing again? There are two newer pseudo bulbs that are fine but the older one is turning yellow then brown.
Hi, you can fertilize Cattleyas all year long, no need for breaks. You can reduce the frequency in winter if the orchid grows slower, or doesn't produce new growth, but no need to hold off fertilizer for long periods of time.
Do you know why a root would become partially desiccated? I have this one orchid on which one of the roots is completely shriveled about halfway, starting at the base, but the other half is doing okay and absorbing water. It's the weirdest thing I've ever seen. No amount of soaking has helped
Hey @missorchidgirl I hope you are well. As I was watching this, I was reminded of a question I wanted to post to your channel. I have a vague memory of a comment you made in a past video about how the length of new leaves in comparison to the previous set of leaves is a good indicator of how well a phal is developing. While I am now able to get my phals to grow their leaves as long as or longer than the preceding leaf, none of the leaves grown under my care are nearly as wide as those grown while under the care of a nursery. Is this to do with nutrients, lighting or culture? All three perhaps. Any thought?
Hi Danni, I love your videos and have learned a lot. I could really use your help. I have a Den. Karloo's Blushes and a Den. Delicatum that the leaves are turning yellow on the blooming cane. I wish I could send you a photo but I don't see how. They are in a Southeast window behind sheer curtains and never get direct sun. What should I do with them? I really don't want to lose them. Thank you so much!
Hi, I'm not familiar with these dendrobiums, but first thing I would do is researching if they are deciduous. There are many dendrobium species that lose leaves regularly and take a winter rest, just google for them and see if they're the type :)
this is off topic, but my cat bit one of my orchid leaves. (it was an older one) basically it’s scratched up but still attached. Do you think my phalaenopsis will heal it self? or what do you suggest i do? 😰 i’m worried
I love your videos. I've used your advice so many times in the past to help my orchids recover, or thrive better than they were. I just divided an oncidium intergenetic ( I think Sharry baby, or Sharry berry. It's been so long since she bloomed, I can't remember) I had enough to take 4 divisions, but the last division that really didn't fit with any of the others were just 2 back bulbs with no roots, but the back bulbs themselves are quite plump, and healthy looking. I have them in a sphagnum and soil / per-lite mix right now. Do you think there's any chance they'll grow new shoots and roots? What would you do if you had them?
How long should you water a Phalaenopsis orchid for? The tag says 1 x per week for 1 minute but I thought I just heard you say you watered your plant for 15 minutes. Am I under watering mine? Thanks!
Hi Kathleen … I’m not an expert but maybe I can tell you what I do. I had no idea on how to water; I used to hold the orchid under the kitchen tap for about two minutes. With my other houseplants that grow in soil, I water well (until water runs out the drain holes) but with orchid’s being in bark, water flows through immediately - I worried I wasn’t doing it correctly. But now, I leave the orchid in its outer (decorative) second pot, run water until room temperature and fill the pots (both pots) to almost the top, being careful to avoid the base of the orchid’s stem (hopefully, to avoid stem rot). I let the orchid soak for 20 to 30 minutes, lift the orchid + its transparent pot out and empty the water that’s in the second outer pot. I put the orchid back in the outer pot then after say, 10 minutes, I check for any residual water (hopefully, to avoid root rot). There’s always more water so I tip that out and return the orchid to its outer pot. I water my orchids every weekend and have kept mine alive for almost 8 years now.
Sticks out like a sore thumb! They say it sticks out because when you have a sore thumb, and you're trying to do tasks, you can't concentrate very hard on the task at hand because your sore thumb keeps throbbed and its the only thing you can think about. Some say it's because a sore thumb gets red and swollen and therefore sticks out more then the other fingers and thumb, but that's just a cartoon lol.
Why do you say there is NO orchid fertilizer sold in the entire European Union? Orchids are so super popular in the EU they even have orchid growers and hybridizers. What do you think these people are using on their orchids?
I love your tips! Please don't take this the wrong way, but your videos--while informative-- are very long. Sometimes less speaking. I mean no disrespect, truly.

Hi, I don't have a link for it, my seller doesn't sell it anymore!
Can you do something on the care and reblooming of Cymbidiums ? I see a lot of them in the local supermarket here in the Netherlands😊
Watching your video made me realize I haven't been dating the tags of plants I've added slow release to 😬😬😬
That happens to mine if I give them strong fertilizer. Luckily it will generate new leaves overtime.
My Cattleya has started to do this but it’s almost March. When do I start fertilizing again? There are two newer pseudo bulbs that are fine but the older one is turning yellow then brown.

How you keep your orchid leaves so shiny?
Hi, these orchids have naturally shiny leaves, I don’t do anything :)
Hey, could I order some of that slow release fertilizer and send it to you???
Not sure if that would also get waylaid in customs…
